Ethanol Production for the Front Range and West Coast Markets
At MAAPW, we are proud of our highly efficient plant and our ability to serve Western Nebraska and the surrounding areas. Our 24/7 productions yields:
-
16.5 million bushels of corn annually
-
48 million gallons of ethanol each year
-
400,000 tons of Wet Distillers’ Grains with Solubles (WDGS)
-
16.5 million pounds of Distillers’ Corn Oil (DCO)
-
140,000 metric tons of Biogenic CO2
These products and co-products fuel progress in renewable energy while supporting industries across Western Nebraska and beyond. MAAPW’s commitment to efficiency ensures reliable production that benefits local farmers and global markets alike. Interested in learning more about MAAPW's dedication to ethanol and carbon capture sequestration in Nebraska? Our team is ready to answer your questions.
Strengthening Agriculture in Western Nebraska
MAAPW’s ethanol production is deeply rooted in collaboration with Nebraska’s farming community. By sourcing most of our corn from local farmers and working closely with regional co-ops, we create a cycle of mutual support that strengthens both agriculture and renewable energy production in Western Nebraska.
Farmers value our efficient operations, which reduce wait times and streamline deliveries, while customers count on us for consistent, high-quality ethanol and byproducts. Our dedication to reliability and community drives everything we do.
Leading the Way with Carbon Capture Technology
In 2022, MAAPW introduced Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technology, a groundbreaking initiative for ethanol production in Nebraska. By the end of 2025, we’ll join an elite group (fewer than 10%) of ethanol plants nationwide that implement CCS, significantly reducing carbon emissions and setting new standards for sustainability.
MAAPW is excited about the future of ethanol and carbon capture sequestration in Nebraksa, particularly with the advancements brought by the Trailblazer CO2 Pipeline. This transformative project will be instrumental in shaping the future of ethanol production in Nebraska. Tallgrass is repurposing its 392-mile Trailblazer natural gas pipeline into a dedicated carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline, offering a long-term decarbonization solution for ethanol plants throughout the region.

Discover how MAAPW is advancing ethanol production in Nebraska and across the country, contributing to renewable energy innovation and strengthening the agricultural community.
Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is widely recognized as a game-changing solution for reducing carbon emissions in industrial processes, including ethanol production. CCS technology captures CO2 emissions at the source and safely stores them underground, significantly lowering the carbon footprint of ethanol.
This is particularly important for Nebraska, where the ethanol industry supports 6,000 full-time jobs and contributes $4.5 billion to the state’s GDP. By adopting CCS, ethanol producers like Mid America Agri Products/Wheatland (MAAPW) are ensuring a more sustainable future for biofuels, reducing emissions, and helping position ethanol as a key player in the growing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market.
MAAPW is at the forefront of ethanol production and carbon capture sequestration in Nebraska. By the end of 2025, it will be among the fewer than 10% of ethanol plants nationwide positioned to sequester carbon, demonstrating a firm commitment to sustainability.
MAAPW’s participation in the Trailblazer CO2 Pipeline project further reinforces its leadership in low-carbon ethanol production. By leveraging CCS technology, MAAPW is not only reducing emissions but also strengthening Nebraska’s position as a leader in renewable energy and biofuel innovation.
The Trailblazer CO2 Pipeline is a 392-mile project by Tallgrass that is converting a former natural gas pipeline into a dedicated carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline. This $1.5 billion initiative will transport CO2 from ethanol plants in Nebraska to underground sequestration sites in Wyoming.
The pipeline is a crucial step toward decarbonizing ethanol production in Nebraska, helping ethanol facilities reduce carbon emissions and enhance the long-term sustainability of biofuels. By lowering carbon intensity, the project strengthens Nebraska’s role as a leader in low-carbon fuel production.
